Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Learners apply theoretical knowledge through hands-on exercises in risk assessment, PPE inspection, emergency response drills, and environmental sampling. These practicals reinforce hazard identification, control measures, and incident response skills essential for workplace HSE compliance.

Practical Activities

• Risk Assessment and Hazard Identification — Learners conduct a walk-through risk assessment of a simulated workplace, identify hazards, and complete a risk assessment matrix. (4h)
• PPE Inspection and Donning/Doffing — Learners inspect various PPE items (hard hats, safety glasses, gloves, harnesses) for defects and practice correct donning, doffing, and maintenance. (3h)
• Emergency Response Drill: Fire and Spill — Learners participate in a simulated fire drill using extinguishers and a chemical spill response scenario, including containment and cleanup. (4h)
• Environmental Sampling and Waste Management — Learners collect air quality samples using personal sampling pumps and perform waste segregation and labeling according to regulations. (3h)
• Permit-to-Work and Safe Work Procedure Simulation — Learners complete a permit-to-work for a confined space entry and a hot work task, including risk controls and authorization. (2h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.
